After 24 years, Michiel Hoogkamer is shutting down De Roze Beurs, Leiden’s last gay bar, citing burnout and shifting social habits. With LGBTQ+ venues nationwide struggling — from Amsterdam’s Cafe Getto to smaller towns — rising hostility, vandalism, and a younger crowd favoring big parties over loyal spots are crushing the “homohoreca.” While new bars emerge, tourism helps Amsterdam survive, leaving places like Leiden vulnerable.
